Horse additives : PrimeVal StressLess pheromone gel 2x5ml (110835)

<p>PrimeVal StressLess pheromone gel helps horses cope with stressful situations without affecting their behaviour and performance. The great advantage of this product is that the horse-soothing pheromone has no doping effect and is not on the FEI list of prohibited ingredients. It is therefore suitable for use in competition. PrimeVal StressLess Pheromone Gel works on the pheromone principle. Pheromones are intrinsic signalling molecules widely used in animal communication. They are invisible but recognisable to the horse. They are species-specific, which means that the horse only recognises pheromones from the horse and not, for example, from a cow, dog or cat. Pheromones are analysed by the Jacobson organ. This can be seen in the horse's behaviour. When a horse runs away, the pheromones it takes up are transferred to the Jacobson organ. The mare releases pheromones a few days after the foal is born to create a safe and calming environment around her. This also promotes bonding with her foal. Adult horses also recognise these pheromones and give an instinctive, calming response as it creates a feeling of security. When appropriate: PrimeVal StressLess&nbsp; Pheromone Gel is designed for horses of all ages. It can also be used for nervous or sensitive horses and in situations such as: - Transportation: any type of transportation - Change of environment: stable, paddock or owner. - Work process: mounting, training, competitions. - Care: vet visit, shaving - Sound and light: thunderstorms, gunshots, fireworks, crowds, flashes Usage PrimeVal StressLess Pheromone Gel is ideally taken 30 minutes before a stressful situation. One 5 ml sachet works for 2-2.5 hours and can then be repeated if desired. The gel is simply applied to the base of the nostrils. </p>
